watching Dea's thread about FedCup going down and down the list and still interested in playing Tag-Games, I talked to Dea and we thought about reviving another type of Tag-Tournement.

What is TAG?
For newbies (and newbies in this case may be all players who play TTR less than two or three years): TAG is TEAM game. You and your partner play versus another team and you are allowed to discuss all your actions with your partner. This starts with decision which tix you and your partner will keep, furthermore which cards you draw and which tracks you take. The order of joining the game will be team A setting up, then team members B joining (playing red and yellow) and last one will be second member of team A. This order enables blocking and I assure you: TAG is a blocking game
All rules like drawing tix, bonus for the longest track etc are still valid.

After the game you sum up the points of you and your partner. Winner is the team with more points.

What do you need?
You should be interested in playing TAG games, you need a partner with whom you can communicate via Skype, MSN, phone or...... and one afternoon of spare time.

What does QUICK-TAG mean?
It means that you are not allowed to type anything to avoid the bot replace you after the regular 2 minutes of time to think and talk about your moves with your partner. I assure you this WILL speed up the tag games.

Looks like I will be organizing the tournement so I suggest two dates:
I would prefer Saturday afternoon 4 pm CET and hope that in this case it will be also possible for our friends overseas to join in.

Suggested dates from my side are: February 11th or 25th Still open to any other suggestions.

Mode of tournement:
Up to 8 interested teams Dea suggested round robin, playing the two best teams a final game as decider. In case we are more than 8 teams (I'm an optimistic girl) we would make two groups, best ranked teams after rr playing final.

ATTENTION: ALL TAG GAMES WILL BE PLAYED UNRATED!!

So if you are interested sign in in this thread with your prefered date and your partner.

31th of January I will appoint the date. Signing in will be still possible until hm I guess one hour before start.

Have a wonderful Christmas holiday and hopefully see you all in the tournement.

Joining or not if you are interesting in playing TAG games feel free to pm me or ask me in the lobby. For any further questions feel free to ask here or send me a pm.

He uses a spell called "paralyze" in NC games - this spell causes even the fastest opponents to freeze until the bot gets hold of them.
He managed to become immune to it himself - by moving so slowly, that the damaging rays of the spell ignore him because he seems to be no longer alive

If you run into this evil player during CL, just lay flat on your back and pretend to be dead, this may help. If you want to talk to somebody who already applied this tactic successfully, ask Elric
